Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right.  Proverbs 20:11 NLT

What we call character is what either builds or destroys relationships.  Character is more than just a family name; it is the foundation for building life in a family, a neighborhood,  a church, a community,  or a nation.  For some it can be about themselves first, how they feel, what they want or how they see things.  In this place no one is really happy and wounded emotions can take individuals down roads of adultery, divorce, drunkenness, and survival modes of every kind.  Here families are wounded and broken, businesses fail, churches split and communities are in disarray.  God’s grace given in Jesus Christ is much more than saving someone so that they may go to heaven someday.  Grace brings a new character which is called freedom in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, Romans 14:17 NIV Grace has no jealousy, no bitterness, no regret and no unforgiveness.  It is described as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control in Galatians 5:22, 23 NLT. Today let yourself enjoy the life given to you through Jesus the Christ.  His character is now yours, right now in the place where you find yourself.  Your freedom is at hand, his blessing is now yours and you can be the blessing of God to your family, your business, your neighborhood, your church and your community.  Today is a good day to live in the salvation of your character. Enjoy!
